Cellar Door

“If Martin Meinert’s wines can seem a trifle old-fashioned they have the virtues rather than vices of the Cape’s past. The main concession for modernity is that they do not require more than a few years in bottle before drinking. And very pleasingly at that. With an established reputation and a small production, Meinert has no need to compete with louder wines, and we must be grateful (as a loyal customer base certainly is) that the standards of understatement have this eloquent champion.”
